Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth it was growing in its nursery pot. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture, especially during the first growing season. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrune annually in late winter or early spring to control size and remove dead or crowded growth. Tomuri is a male vine and will not produce fruit; it is grown specifically to pollinate female kiwi vines. Plant it near a compatible female variety to ensure good cross-pollination. Protect young vines from strong winds and provide winter protection in colder zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne (1) Tomuri Male Kiwi Vine starter plant, ready for planting in your garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739756724534,"sku":"EDNA-258","price":72.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8059291197_1y2l.jpg?v=1792115217","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/tomuri-male-kiwi-vine-starter-plant-actinidia-chinensis-pollinator-for-kiwi-fruit","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
